Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for Neighbor Aware Networking (NAN) communications between two devices concurrently over multiple NAN Data Links (NDLs). A multi-NDL connection is formed between two NAN devices where both devices support multi-link operation (MLO) for NAN communications. A first NAN device and a second NAN device each advertises its respective capability to support MLO for NAN communications to the other device by transmitting to the other device a NAN frame that includes an MLO information element. A multi-NDL connection is formed between the first NAN device and the second NAN device in accordance with the information in the multi-link information elements. Each NDL of the multi-NDL connection is associated with a set of frequency channels that do not overlap the set of frequency channels associated with another NDL. Concurrent NAN communication can occur over the multiple NDLs.
